Management Curriculum Revisions II

I. Page 142 Mgmt. 140 - Change title and course
descriptions to:
Mgmt. 180 Management Functions (3)
An overview of management theory and
practice. Designed solely for the
non-management student. (No credit
toward management or accounting degree.)
Page 142 Mgmt. 200 - New description:
A study of the external environment of
private, public, and service organizations
integrated with management theory and
processes.
Rationale:
Mgmt 200 will be a Principles of Management course.
It will be the first course to be taken in our
department by Management majors. Up to this time we
have not had a course which could be clearly identified
as a principles course. To meet our professional
responsibilities to our students such a course is
necessary.
Mgmt 180 has been redesigned to act as a service course
for all students in the university. It allows any
student in any major to take an introductory type course
which will cover in a general manner the entire field of
management, business, and the non-profit organizational
sector of our economic system. At present there is no
course in Management which allows non-management majors
to be introduced to this vital part of society.
In terms of precedent the following departments have
introductory courses which are designed for non-majors
and which do not carry credit towards their major:
Physics 111, Chem 133, Atmos 105, Envl 131. The
purpose of Mgmt 180 is to help students throughout
the university make career choices which are based on
an exposure to as many different interest areas as
possible. To deny beginning students an opportunity
to be exposed to such information is to seriously lessen
our dedication to serving all our students. In the
Page 2
proposed catalogue listing course Mgmt 180 will be
clearly marked: "no credit for management majors."
It is our intent as noted above that this course be a
service course designed with the best interest of all
the students in mind.
Thank you for your consideration of this request for
review.
Effective: Fall 1984
II. To ADD to Accounting courses listing:
"271-4, 371-4, 471-4 Special Topics in Accounting (1-4)
Courses not included in the catalogue but for which there
may be special needs. May be repeated for credit as
often as permitted and as subject matter changes.
Prerequisites: As indicated for the respective course."
Rationale:
Since Accounting courses are now listed separately in
the catalogue it is desirable to permit special topics
in Accounting.
Effective: Immediately.
III. Page 146 Mgmt 340 - New description:
"A small group experiential format
gives students an opportunity to practice
team-building processes and to apply
organizational behavior and general
management concepts to the task of planning
for their own professional developments."
Prerequisite: Mgmt 313
Rationale:
This description more accurately describes the present
content of this course.
Effective: Fall 1984.
